Backed by the Scottish band Lies Damn Lies, Stewart turns in a typically heartfelt performance on the fine Bandera, one of his grittiest folk-rock efforts to date. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Great Album
I think this is the best live album John Stewart ever recorded...and that's saying something. Fabulous sound (the band Lies Damn Lies is perfect for this) and the song choice couldn't be improved upon.God bless Johnny Stew, we miss you.

A Real Jewell from John Stewart
Two wonderfull live CD's were recorded that week at the Turf Inn in Scotland. "Live at the Turf Inn" features John and Buffy, only with John's 12 string and Buffy's percussion doing introspective performances. Some of the same songs can be heard again on "Bandera" where John is backed by an amazing rock band that drives his energy into the stratosphere! It "Punch the Big Guy" is considered his best work of the 80's, then "Bandera" represents some of his best work of the 90's. It proves that John must be heard live, if in person or on this CD! Stewart fans must have this in thier collection!

Another great cd from a lost american songwriter
40 records and still a mystery, this is just another great cd by an underrated singer songwriter. America wake up, clean you ears and listen to this guy! He should be in all the Top 10's in the country!

Excellent recording with excellent band!
The backing band is Glasgow, Scotland's Lies Damned Lies, who in their own right makes great albums. As a huge LDL fan, I was floored to discover they backed the late, great John Stewart. Everybody wins with this CD.

Gut (Schlagzeug nervt) - lieber z.B. Neon Beach Live
Kaufe mir immer mal wieder eine CD von John Stewart (allerdings nicht die echten Country-Sachen - sondern eher die Folk(-Rock)-Sachen), wenn ich eine günstig erwische.Diese kann ich mit Einschränkung empfehlen. Leider nervt die recht öde Schlagzeugarbeit sehr.Wer noch nichts von John Stewart hat sollte mit z.B. Neon Beach Live anfangen.
